The death of a 17-year-old girl, whose body has been found in a parked car near Skid Row, is being investigated as a homicide, police said Sunday.

Lily Burk, a student at Oakwood School in North Hollywood, had left her Los Feliz home Friday afternoon to deliver some paperwork to the Southwestern University School of Law, according to the Los Angeles Police Department.

More than an hour later she made two phone calls to each of her parents asking them how to get cash using her credit card at an ATM. She was not heard from again. Her parents told the Los Angeles Times they feared she had been abducted. Officers with the LAPD reported the teen as a missing person.

Then, early Saturday, officers responded to call of a young woman’s body in a black Volvo parked in a lot at 5th and Alameda streets. Lily’s body had been spotted in the car by an employee of a local business, who was walking past the car.

Homicide detectives believe Lily was killed early Friday evening. Inside her car, detectives discovered signs of a struggle. Burk had head injuries and detectives believe the cause of death to be blunt force trauma. There was no visible damage to her vehicle.
